Weekly Trivia Contest 28 Mar to 3 Apr

Post by Mayhem »

Okay, so my original, long proposed idea is actually out permanently because I couldn't find what I needed... so here we go...

On the back of each Usagi issue is usually a coloured piece by Stan, or an advert, or a photo of Stan. However, very rarely, it's been an art piece by someone else.

So all you have to do this week is PM me with the name(s) of anyone else whose work has appeared on the back of an Usagi issue.

IMPORTANT RULE! To qualify to enter the contest, you must give me at least one name. But the winner (or winners) will be those who give me the most correct answers overall. Only ONE PM as entry allowed per person, so do all your research first before submitting your answers! :)

I've not had any answers yet, let alone correct answers, so I'm wondering if I've made this too difficult or time consuming :P

Okay, time for a clue or so... one answer was a Mirage artist. Another tied to an usagi related comics firm. And a third, you could say, is in like Flint.

Since you made the rule of only one entry per contestant, I guess most people are just waiting to have more free time this weekend. I know I am :)

I don't own that many single issues so I know I wouldn't come close to finding the most.

That's what I'm hoping heh. The one entry rule was to stop people from just randomly guessing and PM all the time heh.

I believe the maximum number of correct answers is four, but I await someone proving me wrong :P

I've now had two entries, and thus been corrected that the total number of correct answers for the question is now five.

Okay, with hindsight, I should have probably stated there were a couple of caveats to the entries (that it had to be related to Usagi, could only be actual Usagi issues and not Critters etc, and had to be drawn by the artist, no Lego models for instance!). But that just made life more interesting for the four people that chose to enter :lol: 8)

(also gave me a reasonable idea who buys all the individual issues like myself!)

With that said, here are the five answers I was accepting as correct:

Mike Dooney - #2.16
Mark Crilley - #3.27
Scott Fabianek (aka K9) - #3.76
Ryan HIll - #3.97 and #3.139
David Petersen - #3.104

Both Trevis and Maka got four correct answers each so... flip of the coin time... and this week's winner is... MAKA! :)

Congratulations Maka. I only found Ryan Hill and David Petersen.

I also purchase the comics, but I usually get rid of them when the collections come out.

Out of curiosity, didn't Nate Piekos have a piece of art printed in one of the comics? Maybe it was in the Letters Column.

congrats Maka!
Ha...I almost listed that Lego cover as well.
I have no idea how I missed #76. I even remember pausing and looking again at the front cover of #75... I was looking at these while watching a basketball game so that is what I get for trying to multi-task :lol:
